FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to a set of paving stones.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

EP 0 954 639 B1 discloses a set of paving stones that respectively havea polygonal base surface, side surfaces with ribs and visible sides, forpaving surfaces with optionally different laying patterns.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is the object of the invention to develop a set of paving stones thatoffers a multiplicity of paving stone types that can be combined withone another and can optionally be combined with one another in differentquantities, it being possible for each paving stone type to beeffectively gripped by a person and handled without risk to health.

The inventive set of paving stones has paving stones of a first pavingstone type with a square base surface having a basic grid with a basicgrid width of 14 cm and a basic grid length of 14 cm, and comprisespaving stones of at least two further paving stone types, the latterhaving rectangular base surfaces whose widths correspond to the basicgrid width and thus to the width of the first paving stone type, thesecond paving stone type having a length that corresponds to an integralmultiple (n) of a fifth of the basic grid length or the length of thefirst paving stone type, it being true for the multiple (n) that n<5,and the third paving stone type having a length that corresponds to anintegral multiple (m) of a fifth of the basic grid length or the lengthof the first paving stone type, it being true for the multiple (m) thatm>5. Proceeding from a first paving stone type, such a set can be usedto form a multiplicity of paving stone variants without reachingdimensions at which the paving stones of the larger paving stone typesreach dimensions and weights that make of manual laying work that highlyloads or overloads the body. Furthermore, owing to the inventive setexcessively large differences in dimension between the individual stonesare avoided without thereby restricting the number of possible layingvariants. Specifically, excessively large differences in dimensionimpede expert laying, since the individual paving stone types placedifferent requirements on the underlying ground, and have differenteffects, in particular when being set down, on the underlying groundsuch that the laying of a flat surface is rendered difficult. The coreof the invention is therefore a set that, in conjunction with a smallspectrum of dimensions and masses of the various paving stones, offers amultiplicity of laying variants and in so doing offers a compatibilityof all possible paving stone types with regard to a systematicrealization of a grid system.

According to the invention, there is provided, in particular, a set ofpaving stones that consist of a first paving stone type with a squarebase surface that is assigned a larger paving stone type and a smallerpaving stone type. These dependences between the paving stone typespermit a multiplicity of laying variants in conjunction with a lownumber of stone types.

The invention further provides to supplement the set to four to sevenpaving stone types, the additional paving stone types all having thesame width as the first paving stone type, but fundamentally largerlengths than the first paving stone type. Here, the largest length of apaving stone type corresponds to twice the length of the first pavingstone type, and the linear dimensions, lying between the longest pavingstone type and the first paving stone type, of the further paving stonetypes correspond to integral multiples of a fifth part of the length ofthe first paving stone type. Consequently, the appearance of a pavedservice, laid with the aid of the set and having relatively few pavingstone types can easily be approximated to a paved surface with pavingstones of random dimensions since, given the slight differences indimension between the individual paving stone types, it is no longerpossible for people quickly to recognize paving stones of the samedimensions, and so the impression of random dimensions occurs.

The invention further provides to supplement the set by a left-hand anda right-hand special paving stone type, the special paving stone typesrespectively being assembled from a rectangle, with a grid widthcorresponding to the basic grid, and a parallelogram attached to therectangle, and the parallelogram thereby having a tilt angle that isdefined by a right-angled triangle whose first leg corresponds to thelength of the first paving stone type, and whose second leg correspondsto a fifth of the length of the first paving stone type. Further layingvariants are possible by means of such special paving stone types,without departing from the system of the division by five.

It is provided according to the invention to give the rectangle of thespecial paving stone type a length that corresponds to three times afifth of the basic grid defined by the first paving stone type. Whensolely viewing the rectangular fraction of the special paving stone,this creates a further paving stone type, which corresponds to thesystem and has a length that is shorter than the second paving stonetype by a fifth of the basic grid.

The invention also provides to furnish the parallelogram of the specialpaving stone type with a length that corresponds to the basic grid, andthereby to integrate said parallelogram in the system of division byfive.

The invention further provides to calculate the number of the ribsarranged on the side surfaces of the paving stones from the side lengthof the paving stones using the following formula: (side length/2.8)−1.This uniform stipulation of the number of ribs ensures an error-freeinteraction of different paving stone types in all laying situations.

According to the invention, the square paving stone type (P1) isprovided with dimensions of 10 cm×10 cm to 16 cm×16 cm. Proceeding fromthese dimensions, all paving stone types of the set have handydimensions.

The invention provides, in particular, to give the square paving stonetype (P1) dimensions of 14 cm×14 cm. In the case of such dimensions, alaying width of 0.5 m or a multiple of 0.5 m can be achieved withadequate accuracy for building purposes by a combination of differentpaving stone types of the set. Consequently, the set is suitable forlaying standardized traffic areas.

The invention further provides to give the square paving stone type (P1)dimensions of 16 cm×16 cm. In the case of such dimensions, it islikewise possible to achieve a laying width of 0.5 m or a multiple of0.5 m by a combination of different paving stone types of the set withadequate accuracy for building purposes. Consequently, the set islikewise suitable for laying standardized traffic areas. In addition, itis possible in the case of a paving stone type (P7) to achieve a length(L7) of 30 cm which enables a transition into an area, which is laid outwith plates of size 30 cm×30 cm, while continuing the pattern of joints.

Furthermore, at least one of those paving stone types of the set thathave greater length than the square stone P2 is provided on itsunderside by the invention with a groove aligned centrally transverse tothe longitudinal direction thereof. Owing to the central arrangement ofthe groove, it is possible when laying the paving stones of the set,which avoids the formation of cross joints in the laying pattern,simultaneously to avoid a groove or a channel from being continued overa number of rows of stones. As a result, a flow of the infiltratingwater below the laid stone surface is avoided, and the water infiltratesbelow the paving stone at whose edges it gathered. Consequently, thepaving is also suitable for laying on sloping surfaces, since anundesired accumulation of water, caused by the configuration of theground, at deeper lying points of the paving is avoided.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

FIG. 1 illustrates a paving stone P of a first paving stone type P1 in aperspective view. The paving stone type P1 has a substantially squarebase surface G1, four side surfaces SF1 and a visible side S1. Four ribsN1 are respectively arranged on the side surfaces SF1.

FIG. 2 shows a paving stone P of a special paving stone type SR that hasa polygonal base surface G9, six side surfaces SF9 and a visible sideS9. Three or four ribs N9 are respectively arranged on the side surfacesS9.

FIG. 3 illustrates seven paving stone types P1 to P7 of a set Bschematically. The paving stone type P1 defines with its grid edges RK1a square basic grid GR with a basic grid width GRB that corresponds to awidth B1=14 cm, and a basic grid length GRL that corresponds to a lengthL1=14 cm. This basic grid GR is subdivided into a square fine grid FRwith a fine grid width FRB 2.8 cm and a fine grid length FRL=2.8 cm. Thefine grid FR is produced from the basic grid GR by dividing the basicgrid width GRB and the basic grid length GRL by a division factor t=5.The second paving stone type P2 has a width B2=B1=14 cm and a lengthL2=11.2 cm. By comparison with the first paving stone type P1, thelength L2 of the paving stone type P2 is shortened by a fine grid lengthFRL. Its length L2 is defined by a multiple n of value 4 and iscalculated using the formula L2=(L1/t)*n or L2=FRL*n.

The further paving stone types P3 to P7, of which only at least one needbe represented in the inventive set B, all have lengths L3 to L7 thatare greater than the length L1 of the paving stone type P1. Widths B3 toB7 of the paving stone types P3 to P7 correspond to the widths B1 andB2, respectively, of the paving stone types P1 and P2, respectively. Thelength L7 of the paving stone type P7 is calculated, for example, fromthe formula L7=(L1/t)*m, in which case m=10. Consequently, the pavingstone type P7 has a base surface G7 that corresponds to twice the basesurface G1 of the paving stone type P1.

FIG. 4 now shows the special stone type SR known from FIG. 2, and threefurther special stone types SL, SLR and SLL in a schematic illustrationcorresponding to the illustrations in FIG. 3. In the plan view, thespecial paving stone types SL and SR are respectively assembled from arectangle RE8 or RE9, and a parallelogram PA8 or PA9. Here, therectangles RE8 and RE9 respectively have widths B8 and B9 thatcorrespond to the width B1 of the paving stone type P1 (see also FIG.3). Respective lengths LRE8 and LRE9 of the rectangular fractions RE8and RE9 of the special stones SL and SR are calculated using the formulaLRE8=LRE9=(GRL/t)*p, p preferably assuming the value 3. Respectivelengths LPA8 and LPA9 of the parallelograms PA8 and PA9 are calculatedusing the formula LPA8=LPA9=(GRL/t)*q, q preferably assuming the value5. Here, the parallelogram PA8 or PA9 has a tilt angle α that is definedby an offset of a fine grid width FRB on a basic grid length GRL. Thetilt angle α is approximately 10°.

In plan view, the special paving stone types SLL and SLR arerespectively assembled from a rectangle RE11 or RE12 and a parallelogramPA11 or PA12. Here, the rectangles RE11 and RE12 respectively havewidths B11 and B12 that correspond to the width B1 of the paving stonetype P1 (see also FIG. 3). Respective lengths LRE11 and LRE12 of therectangular fractions RE11 and RE12 of the special stones SLL and SLRare calculated using the formula LRE11=LRE12=(GRL/t)*p, p preferablyassuming the value 6. Respective lengths LPA11 and LPA12 of theparallelograms PA11 and PA12 are calculated using the formulaLPA11=LPA12=(GRL/t)*q, q preferably assuming the value 5. Here, theparallelogram PA11 or PA12 has a tilt angle α that is defined by anoffset of a fine grid width FRB on a basic grid length GRL. The tiltangle α is approximately 10°.

FIG. 5 illustrates a first laying pattern VM1 in plan view, theindividual paving stones P being illustrated schematically by theirrespective grid edges. The laying pattern VM1 is assembled from pavingstones P of the paving stone types P1 to P7, SL and SR.

FIGS. 6 to 12 illustrate paving stones P of the paving stone types P1 toP7 in plan view. The grid edges RK1 to RK7 define the paving stones P asregards their main dimensions B1 to B7 or L1 to L7, the grid edges RK1to RK7 being imaginary edges that cut ribs N1 to N7 and define the areathat is occupied by the individual paving stone P in a laid surface.Important parameters of the paving stone types P1 to P7 are summarizedin the following table. The designation of longitudinal grid factor LRFis to be understood as a generic term for the factors n and m. Thetransverse grid factor QRF specifies by which factor the fine grid widthFRB is to be multiplied in order to determine the width B1-B7 of therespective paving stone type P1-P7. Paving stone type P2 P1 P3 P4 P5 P6P7 Length L1-L7 11.2 14 16.8 19.6 22.4 25.2 28 in cm Longitudinal 4 5 67 8 9 10 grid factor (LRF) Number of ribs 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 on thelongitudinal side (NZL) Width B1-B7 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 in cmTransverse 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 grid factor (QRF) Number of ribs 4 4 4 4 4 4 4on the transverse side (NZQ) Total number 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 of ribson the circumference

In the case of such a set, laying widths that lie in the range of amultiple of 0.5 m can be achieved by a multiplicity of combinations. Forexample, a laying width of 50.4 cm can be implemented by the combinationof following stone types:

P2+P3+P5=11.2 cm+16.8 cm+22.4 cm=50.4 cm

P6+P1+P2=25.2 cm+14 cm+11.2 cm=50.4 cm

P1+P3+P4=14 cm+16.8 cm+19.6 cm=50.4 cm

P7+P2+P2=28 cm+11.2 cm+11.2 cm=50.4 cm

P6+P6=25.2 cm+25.2 cm=50.4 cm

P7+P5=28 cm+22.4 cm=50.4 cm

It would be possible to realize a laying width of 100.8 cm, for example,by a twofold combination of said stone types.

In the entire text of the application, the length and width data L1-L10and B1-B10, respectively, relate to the dimensions of the grid edgesRK1-RK10 of the individual paving stones.

The above-described set can be extended with special stone types SL, SR,SLL and SLR in accordance with the illustrations in FIGS. 5, 16 to 19and 22. Said special stone types have the following dimensions, forexample, to this end. Special stone type SL SR SLL SLR Index number 8 911 12 Width B in cm 14 14 14 14 Lengths LRE of the rectangular 8.4 8.416.8 16.8 fractions RE in cm Lengths LPA of the parallelogram 14 14 1414 fractions PA in cm Lengths L of the special stone 22.4 22.4 30.8 30.8types

Provided as an alternative to the above-described set, which is based ona paving stone P1 with L1=14 cm and B1=14 cm is a further set that isbased on a paving stone P1 with L1=15 cm and L2=15 cm. The dimensionscompiled in the following table then result for such a set. Paving stonetype P2 P1 P3 P4 P5 P6 P7 Length L1-L7 12 15 18 21 24 27 30 in cmLongitudinal 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 grid factor (LRF) Number of ribs 3 4 5 6 7 89 on the longitudinal side (NZL) Width B1-B7 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 in cmTransverse 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 grid factor (QRF) Number of ribs 4 4 4 4 4 4 4on the transverse side (NZQ) Total number 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 of ribson the circumference

It is also possible by means of such a set to achieve laying widths thatlie in the range of a multiple of 0.5 m, doing so with a multiplicity ofcombinations. For example, a laying width of 48 cm can be realized bythe combination of following stone types:

P2+P1+P4=12 cm+15 cm+21 cm=48 cm

P3+P3+P1=18 cm+18 cm+12 cm=48 cm

P5+P5=24 cm+24 cm=48 cm

P6+P4=27 cm+21 cm=48 cm

P7+P3=30 cm+18 cm=48 cm

P5+P1+P1=24 cm+12 cm+12 cm=48 cm

It would be possible to realize a laying width of 96 cm, for example, bya twofold combination of said stone types.

Paving stones P of paving stone types SL and SR are illustrated in planview in FIGS. 13 and 14.

Finally, FIG. 15 shows a paving stone P of a lawn stone type E10 thatcorresponds in principle to the paving stone type P1. As distinguishedfrom the paving stone type P1, side surfaces SF10 of the lawn stone typeE10 are set back from grid edges RK10 of width B10 and length L10, whichcorrespond to the grid edges RK1 or the width B1 and length L1 of thepaving stone type 1 (see FIG. 6). Consequently, ribs N10 are embodied ina fashion correspondingly enlarged by comparison with ribs N1 of thepaving stone type 1.

Further laying patterns VM2 to VM7 are illustrated in plan view in FIGS.16 to 21, the individual paving stones P being illustrated schematicallyby their respective grid edges. The laying pattern VM2 shown in FIG. 16is embodied as a wave W, an offset being achieved by laying pavingstones P of the paving stone types SL or SR alternately in a column SP1or SP2 in a fashion displaced from one another by 180° in each case. Thelaying pattern VM3 that is shown in FIG. 17 is formed exclusively frompaving stones P of the paving stone type SL. The paving stones P arelaid in rows Z1, Z3, Z5 in respectively the same orientation, and laidin an orientation rotated by 180° in rows Z2, Z4 lying therebetween. Thelaying pattern VM4 that is illustrated in FIG. 18 shows a design variantof the laying pattern VM2, the laying pattern VM4 showing a morepronounced wave W that is achieved by additional columns SP3, SP4 thatcorrespond in design to columns SP1 and SP2, respectively, and consistof paving stones P of the paving stone type SL. The laying pattern VM5shown in FIG. 19 is characterized by rows Z1 to Z5 that are formed byalternately consecutive paving stones P of the paving stone types SL andSR. In the laying pattern VM6 illustrated in FIG. 20, paving stones P ofthe paving stone types P1 to P7 are laid in two blocks BL1 and BL2 withlaying widths VLB1 and VLB2 bordering a field F laid from paving stonesFP of different type that are square and arranged in an offset fashion.Finally, the laying pattern VM7 illustrated in FIG. 21 is embodied insuch a way that exclusively T joints, and no cross joints, are produced.To this end, paving stones P of paving stone types P1 to P7 are used.

Finally, FIG. 22 illustrates an enlarged section of the laying patternVM3 shown in FIG. 17, the individual paving stones P of the paving stonetype SL being illustrated not by their theoretical grid edges, but bytheir actual plan view with side surfaces SF8, ribs N8 and visible sidesS8.

FIG. 23 illustrates a paving stone P of a third paving stone type P3 ina perspective view. The paving stone type P3 has a substantially squarebase surface G3, four side surfaces SF3 and a visible side S3. Four andfive ribs N3 are respectively arranged on opposite side surfaces SF3.The base surface G3 forms an underside U3 that has a channel K3 thatopens to the underside U3 and to the opposite side surfaces SF3, whichshow five ribs N3.

FIG. 24 illustrates five paving stone types P3 to P7 of a set B in aschematic fashion looking onto the undersides U3 to U7 thereof. Thesepaving stone types P3 to P7 have the same widths B3 to B7 and differentlengths L3 to L7. Channels K3 to K7 run in the direction of the widthsB3 to B7, and respectively halve the lengths L3 to L7. Referred to thebasic grid GR, the channels K3 to K7 have a width KB3-KB7 of half abasic grid length GRL=2.8 cm/2=1.4 cm. It is ensured in the case of suchdimensioning of the channel width that the channels K3 to K7 have acomplete offset relative to one another even when two neighboring rowsof stones of a paved surface begin with pairs of stones P3, P4 or P4, P5or P5, P6 or P6, P7. The undesired formation of a channel network isthus prevented thereby. As described above, the known pairs of stonesrespectively have a difference in length that corresponds to a basicgrid length GRL=2.8 cm. In accordance with a design variant notillustrated, a maximum width KB3-KB7 of the channels K3 to K7 of a basicgrid length GRL (2.8 cm) is provided. Consequently, the formation of abaffle-free channel network is also prevented in the laying situationoutlined above, since such a dimensioning of the channels leads to acovering of only at most half. In the case of the paving stone type P6,two channels K61 and K62 are illustrated with dashed lines as analternative to the centrally arranged channel K6. Relative to parallelside surfaces SF6 and to one another, said lines respectively havespacings D that correspond to half the length HL3 of the paving stonetype P3. Furthermore, the set B comprises paving stone types P1 and P2as these are illustrated in FIG. 3.

Finally, FIG. 25 illustrates schematically a section of a laying patternVM8 that comprises paving stone types P3 to P7 shown in FIG. 24. Apaving stone type P1 known from FIG. 3 is also laid by way ofsupplement. Only T joints TF, and no cross joints, are respectivelyproduced between the individual paving stones. Consequently, none of thedrain channels U3 to U7 extend into a respectively neighboring row ofstones SR1-SR5.

FIG. 26 a illustrates a plan view of a special stone type SLL that hasthe dimensions of the special stone type SLL schematically illustratedin FIG. 4. The special stone type SLL is embodied in a fashionfundamentally comparable to the special stone types illustrated in FIGS.2, 13 and 14. The special stone type SLL has as a special feature ribsN11 that are embodied as high ribs HN and half-height ribs HHN.Consequently, the special stone type SLL can easily be distinguishedduring laying from a special stone type SLR that is illustrated in FIGS.27 a and 27 b and has exclusively high ribs. FIG. 26 b shows a sectionalong a section line XXVIb-XXVIb, illustrated in FIG. 26 a, through thespecial stone type SLL. The different heights of the high ribs HN andthe half-height ribs HHN can be recognized in this sectional view.

FIG. 27 a illustrates a plan view of the abovementioned special stonetype SLR, which has the dimensions of the special stone type SLRillustrated schematically in FIG. 4. The special stone type SLR islikewise embodied in a fashion fundamentally comparable to the specialstone types illustrated in FIGS. 2, 13 and 14, and is provided for thepurpose of being laid together with the special stone type SLLillustrated in FIG. 26 a. As distinguished from the special stone typeSLL illustrated in FIG. 26 a, all ribs N12 are designed as high ribs HNin the case of the special stone type SLR. FIG. 27 b shows a sectionalong a section line XXVIIb-XXVIIb, illustrated in FIG. 27 a, throughthe special stone type SLR.

The invention is not restricted to exemplary embodiments illustrated ordescribed. Rather, it comprises developments of the invention within thescope of the patent claims. In particular, the invention also providesthat all paving stone types P1 to P7 and SL and SR are designed as lawnstones.
